Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

Bacterial infections continue to be a significant global public health concern, especially with the growing resistance to conventional antibiotics. In this context, natural compounds have emerged as a promising avenue for developing innovative antibacterial agents. These natural products, such as essential oils and plant extracts, often exhibit potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Additionally, they are generally regarded as safer and less likely to promote bacterial resistance compared to synthetic antibiotics.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare), an aromatic herb commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, is also valued for its medicinal benefits. Its leaves contain essential oils rich in phenolic compounds, such as carvacrol and thymol, which are credited with strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Among these, carvacrol has gained significant attention for its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria and its potential as a natural therapeutic agent.
